Who wants to be a moderator?

[Mechatrommer]

i just came across a horrible experience with a "pakistani" guy recently, that he thought i've deleted his account (do i have mod power? ) and then he back with different username and shoots me from everywhere and i have to act like Neo Matrix to avoid the bullets. luckily somehow he realized, and settled the fight before Dave wake up. Until now, i still dont have any idea who deleted his account/posts/thread for multiple posts of the same message, it happened so quickly and quietly. is it Dave? or other Anonymous Mod? i dont know!

It looks that some one "got the stripes"  overnight ....    ( global time lag )

I bet that if the forum grows in size a bit more , shafri will follow as well.

Moderation its an extra responsibility , that if you get it , you are obligated to spent more of your free time,
in the forum ..

Lets hope that Simon will be able to handle the pressure  

Congrats ..  I expect an " celebration diner "  tortellini ala cream and beers

That was me. Multiple people reported his posts so he got the boot.
The "Delete Account" option kills all their existing posts too

poor guy, if it was me, i only delete his redundant posts, maybe he just too excited with his new DSO. he got so angrily and re-create his DSO thread
i didnt report anything before, and it was me he is shooting at! really a poor guy.

As you may have noticed, there are now two moderators, Simon (from the UK) and TumutBound (from Australia), thanks guys!
Still want to appoint a third from the US/Canada to even out the timezones.

No special rules, just don't be evil. Spammers and really offensive posts get the boot, everyone else gets to thrive in the chaos that is online forums!

Hello EEVblog,

I've changed my display name from tumutbound to GeoffS so as to be a bit more user friendly.
Hope this doesn't cause any confusion.

I lurk a lot, and I'm in US Central time zone.  I'd be glad to help out with spammers, though I can't promise constant guard because of away missions for work.
